That's a rather larger voltage drop than I would expect for those modest currents. I would check that your connections are all clean and tight and your wires and terminals are all solid and good. It would also not hurt to check the voltage output at the converter when charging (with a non-trivial charge current) and at the battery terminals. I'd also check for the off chance that there's a bad cell in one of the batteries.
Assuming the voltage dip is due to an ohmic resistance, you might see a voltage of somewhere around 8V when attempting to crank the built-in generator (if you have one), which could well be insufficient for the task...and, if it's a bad connection, it would be getting pretty hot pretty quickly.
Thaks, all connections are good. Converter to battery is a direct #4 awg run of <5 feet one way. I checked it once but forget what the drop was, very low though.
See my last response, also.
